It's good that you have left all that habits. Best is to get your teeth cleaned once by a dentist and then you can take care of your teeth on regular basis, Bec cleaning with machine only will remove hard stains from your teeth.

- use a soft toothbrush -- and brush properly! brush your teeth for at least two minutes twice a day and after meals. Hard brushing can further damage the soft tissues of your mouth.
- floss at least once a day and be sure to floss beyond the gum line to remove more plaque.
- control bleeding by applying pressure to the area with a cold compress. - rinse with salt water or hydrogen peroxide to keep the area clean. Avoid mouthwashes that contain alcohol, which can dry out your mouth.
- stay away from smoking and other tobacco products, which can aggravate bleeding gums.
- eat a balanced diet and limit snacking between meals. Carbohydrates and sugars feed dental plaque.
- try an oral irrigation device, commonly known as a" water pick, to clear debris from around the gum line.
- have your dentures aligned as needed.

Get an x-ray done to know about the position of wisdom tooth. If it is not erupting in normal occlusal position it can cause infection and pain. Get it extracted.

There is no quick fix or standard method of quitting smoking. However, there are several effective methods and treatments; it is up to each individual to find the one that suits them best. The "no-smoking contract" set a quit date. If it seems easier to you, you can set a quitting 'period' instead.

NICOTINE CHEWING GUM
How to use nicotine gum
You can take it throughout the day, or only when you are tormented by the urge to smoke. Because of its flexibility, it is especially indicated for irregular smokers. Take at least 10 pieces per day. If you feel the urge to smoke, use more gum or use either a patch or a nicotine inhaler at the same time. If you smoke fewer than 20 cigarettes per day, you can save money, cut a 4 mg chewing in 2 and use 1/2 piece at a time.
Duration of treatment: From 8 weeks to 3 months.
Important: For the best results, follow these chewing instructions:
Slowly chew the gum: the taste appears
After about 10 chews, take a pause by wedging the gum between the cheek and gum
Wait until the taste is attenuated
Again slowly chew the gum (gum = 30 minutes)
Tips from smoking cessation specialist doctors
Avoid drinking coffee or fruit juice (acid) before and while using the gum, as these drinks reduce its effectiveness.
Chewing the gum too quickly releases too much nicotine, a tangy taste, a decrease in the effectiveness of the gum, hiccups, or stomach ache.
Do not stop treatment prematurely as this will decrease your chances of success.

Prevention is better than cure
mouth ulcers, gum problem, discolouration of teeth with infection occurs by tobacco. Stoping it will improve the mouth condition. Just bear the problem for few days, take preventive measures and you will see bright prospect.

We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need cleaning, root canal treatment & capping. Until then apply clove oil on the decayed tooth. Rinse frequently with mouth wash.

Assuming you are not on any long term medications, your poor oral hygiene and aging can contribute to this problem. If professional cleaning, daily tongue cleaning, use of mouthwash doesn't resolve your problem for longer, you may be suffering from a rare disease in which similar salt taste feeling happens. You can consult me in person if you feel so. Take care
THANK YOU.
